Cake Tips

  1. Where these cakes use wholemeal flour, white flour may be used instead (providing it is self raising where stated).

  2. If a normal cake recipe is vegan apart from using eggs you can make it using vegan egg replacement powder instead. This is available from most health food shops.

  3. You can decorate any cake using ‘butter’ Icing: beat 3 oz (85g) vegan margarine with 6 oz (170g) sieved icing sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence until thick and creamy.

  4. Abbreviations:
    C=Centigrade
    F=Fahrenheit
    dssp=dessert spoon
    fl oz=fluid ounce
    g=gram
    lb=pound
    l=litre
    ml=milliliter
    oz=ounce
    tbsp =tablespoon
    tsp=teaspoon

The recipe itself tastes very delicious! I wonder, when this cake will get baked, it will smell so sweet and wonderful. I am crazy for cheese layer which you mentioned that we can add, I guess increases the softness in the cafe. Too much mouth-watering one! Also, I like vanilla and orange/ lemon flavour, but as this is something new, gonna surely try for it.
